A high spectral resolution lidar (HSRL) system based on injection-seeded Nd:YAG laser and iodine absorption filter has been developed for the quantitative measurement of aerosol and cloud. The laser frequency is stabilized at 80 MHz by a frequency locking system and the absorption line of iodine cell is selected at the 1111 line with 2 GHz width. The observations show that the HSRL can provide vertical profiles of particle extinction coefficient, backscattering coefficient and lidar ratio for cloud and aerosol up to 12 km altitude, simultaneously. For the measured cases, the lidar ratios are 10~20 sr for cloud, 28~37 sr for dust, and 58~70 sr for urban pollution aerosol. It reveals the potential of HSRL to distinguish the type of aerosol and cloud. Time series measurements are given and demonstrate that the HSRL has ability to continuously observe the aerosol and cloud for day and night.

Within the paper an approach for the automatic extraction and reconstruction of buildings in urban built-up areas base on fusion of high-resolution satellite image and LIDAR data is presented. The presented data fusion scheme is essentially motivated by the fact that image and range data are quite complementary. Raised urban objects are first segmented from the terrain surface in the LIDAR data by making use of the spectral signature derived from satellite image, afterwards building potential regions are initially detected in a hierarchical scheme. A novel 3D building reconstruction model is also presented based on the assumption that most buildings can be approximately decomposed into polyhedral patches. With the constraints of presented building model, 3D edges are used to generate the hypothesis and follow the verification processes and a subsequent logical processing of the primitive geometric patches leads to 3D reconstruction of buildings with good details of shape. The approach is applied on the test sites and shows a good performance, an evaluation is described as well in the paper.

In this paper, object-based classification of urban areas based on a combination of information from lidar and aerial images is introduced. High resolution images are frequently used in automatic classification, making use of the spectral characteristics of the features under study. However, in urban areas, pixel-based classification can be difficult since building colors differ and the shadows of buildings can obscure building segmentation. Therefore, if the boundaries of buildings can be extracted from lidar, this information could improve the accuracy of urban area classifications. In the data processing stage, lidar data and the aerial image are co-registered into the same coordinate system, and a local maxima filter is used for the building segmentation of lidar data, which are then converted into an image containing only building information. Then, multiresolution segmentation is achieved using a scale parameter, and a color and shape factor; a compactness factor and a layer weight are implemented for the classification using a class hierarchy. Results indicate that lidar can provide useful additional data when combined with high resolution images in the object-oriented hierarchical classification of urban areas.

A methodology of the integrating the similar color circle search of the spectral data and segmentation of the height data is developed. The method is then applied to study areas, and the results by IKONOS, LIDAR and data fusion are verified with the ground truth, and examined in terms of the accuracy. Results show that with the data fusion the accuracy are improved by about 15% in most of the study areas. The methodology for the detection of individual tree stands by data fusion is explored, and the utility of combinatorial use of the spectral and the height information is demonstrated.

이 연구는 기존의 분광특성에 의한 영상분류방법들이 고해상도 위성영상에 어느 정도 적절한지 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 매개변수법과 비매개변수법을 혼합한 감독분류, 퍼지이론을 적용한 감독분류 그리고 무감독분류방법을 각각 적용하여 토지피복분류를 실시하고 각 방법들의 적용결과를 서로 비교하였다. 또한 육안판독과 분광특성을 이용한 영상분류 결과를 서로 비교하여 각 방법 간 토지피복분류의 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 실증연구 결과, 고해상도 위성영상은 반사값의 복잡성, 그림자의 영향 등으로 인하여 노이즈 현상이 심하게 발생하였다. 이러한 고해상도 위성영상은 무감독분류보다는 감독분류가 더 적절한 분석방법이며, 특히 퍼지이론을 적용한 감독분류방법이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 토지피복분류결과의 전체 정확도가 76% 정도에 불과해 토지피복분류결과의 신뢰성이 낮았다. 또한 육안판독과 영상분류 결과를 서로 비교한 바 뚜렷한 경계와 넓은 면적을 갖는 농경지 등의 항목은 일치도가 높은 반면 산발적으로 분포해 있는 초지 등의 항목은 일치도가 낮게 나타났다. 영상분류와 육안판독 간의 일치도는 79%로 나타났다.

The intensive dust observation experiment has been performed at Korea Global Atmosphere Watch Center (KGAW) in Anmyeon, Korea during each spring season from 2007 to 2009. Downward and upward hyper-spectral spectrums over the dust condition were measured to understand the hyper-spectral properties of Asian dust using both ground-based Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and space-borne AIRS/Aqua. To understand the impact of the Asian dust, a Line-by-Line radiative transfer model runs to calculate the high resolution infrared spectrum over the wave number range of $500-500cm^{-1}$. Furthermore, the radiosonde, a $PM_{10}$ Sampler, a Micro Pulse Lidar (MPL), and an Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (APS) are used to understand the vertical profile of temperature and humidity and the properties of Asian dust like concentration, altitude of dust layer, and size distribution. In this study, we found the Asian dust distributed from surface up to 3-4 km and volume concentration is increased at the size range between 2 and $8{\mu}m$ The observed dust spectrums are larger than the calculated clear sky spectrums by 15~60K for downward and lower by around 2~6K for upward in the wave number range of $800-1200cm^{-1}$. For the characteristics of the spectrum during the Asian dust, the downward spectrum is revealed a positive slope for $800-1000cm^{-1}$ region and negative slope over $1100-1200cm^{-1}$ region. In the upward spectrum, slopes are opposed to the downward one. It is inferred that the difference between measured and calculated spectrum is mostly due to the contribution of emission and/or absorption of the dust particles by the aerosol amount, size distribution, altitude, and composition.
